Ryder takes two 2 hour naps a day and sleeps from about 6pm to 7am daily. When he is awake, he is practicing. He never stops. He is constantly in a cycle of crawl to the wall, pull yourself to a standing position, walk as far as you can manage, fall to the floor and catch yourself paying particular attention to protecting your head, crawl to the wall, pull yourself to a…” By the time he goes for a nap or to bed, he is exhausted.
